50 car drive-by protest planned in response to South Shields driving test centre closure

Frustrated driving instructors are holding a second protest in South Shields to highlight the impact of closing their local driving test centre, hoping to catalyse a U-turn from the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency).

The DVSA plan to shut down South Shields Driving Test Centre on April 10, along with a number of other test centres across the country.

In response to the cuts, 50 local instructors are expected to perform a drive-by protest in their learner cars on Monday morning, travelling between Sunderland and South Shields test centres.
